Sources of BSH Problems


Common BSH Opening Problems

Microsoft Notepad Removed

You attempt to load your BSH file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The BSH File Extension". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Notepad installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the BSH file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: Another BSH-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Outdated Microsoft Notepad

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Notepad won't support your BeanShell Script file. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Notepad installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Right-clicking on your BSH, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening BSH files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading BSH Files

You can still experience errors opening BSH files even with the latest version of Microsoft Notepad installed on your PC. If you are still having problems opening BSH files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for BSH
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry BSH description
  • Invalid installation of a BSH-associated program (eg. Microsoft Notepad)
  • BSH file corruption
  • Your BSH has adversely impacted by malware
  • BSH-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your BeanShell Script file
